In order to protect the registered cardholder's personal data and privacy, THSRC shall not provide, lend, or sell the registered cardholder's personal information to any third party that is unrelated to the transaction or service, unless the registered cardholder agrees or if it is required by law, or THSRC believes in good faith that it is required under applicable law to disclose such information.
Certain personal information of the registered cardholder may be stored or printed on the Periodic Ticket. Therefore, the registered cardholder shall keep the card secured at all times.

VII. Customer Services

If THSRC is subject to cessation of operations, close down, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy, revocation of registration, or any matter which may render THSRC unable to fulfill its carrier service obligations as confirmed by a court of law or deemed by the competent authority, the property of the abovementioned trust along with all beneficiary rights shall be transferred to Periodic Ticket registered cardholders starting from the day on which the abovementioned situation(s) occur, and the trustee shall take charge of matters including liquidating and returning the remaining balance of the trust to the beneficiaries.
